Warwickshire / Re: Was my great grandmother adopted?

Here is her headstone.

She is buried with Charles de Malmanche, and it says she is his wife. She was married to Keefe before Charles. She and John had 3 children she and Charles had 9.
If you have any more info on her I would love to hear it so I can have it correctly put in my family tree also.

I know this is an old post, but a very interesting read.

I am descended from Charles de Malmanche and did not know that he and Frances were not married.
I have a feeling that Frances was adopted in a whangi situation. Maybe William and Frances could not have children? As someone mentioned if official adoption wasnt around then, there could have been the whangi option.
Giving a child to a family to raise who can not have their own, or within a family/friends arrangement. Could have been her birth family could not afford more children. Hence the openness and her using her birth name.
In my tree there are many names for her and was hard working out what is what, but this thread has helped a bit. So thanks :-)
